    I thought Hillary looked great, costume wise (like Thomas Jefferson or George Washington… think about it… guys don’t get to dress like that anymore.)

    Plus, her speech was killer.

    I’m still for Obama, but Hil was really, really, really good.

    Hillary did a wonderful job of explaining her program and talked about actual plans rather than making general statements about making changes in Washington but not being specific like her opponent. I agree with her solutions. But no matter which one wins the nomination, the voters need to come together against McCain or we’ll find ourselves in Iraq for another 5 years. How many of our young people will that kill and maim?
